Ethernet The two integrated Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) can be used for IT communication and for data exchange with programmable controllers such as SIMATIC S7 (with the "SOFTNET S7" software package).
PROFIBUS The optional floating PROFIBUS interface (12 Mbit/s) can be used to connect distributed field devices or for coupling to the SIMATIC S7 (with the "SOFTNET for PROFIBUS" software package).
PROFINET The PROFINET interface can be used for connecting distributed field devices or for controlling drives.
Further interfaces Up to two free slots for PCIe modules, 4 high-speed USB V3.0 interfaces, and two serial interfaces are available for connecting additional I/O devices
